Dear Hiring Manager

Trillium Health Partners

Mississauga, ON

RE: Position---Clinical Team Leader

I am applying for the position – as per my profile, qualifications, and experience. Please find attached the detailed resume in this context.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and having vast experience in mental health and well versed with medical and clinical practice in mental health programs. I have worked in various roles in the health industry including managing medical staff with strong verbal and writing communication skills. I have extensive experience in case management, crisis assessment, intervention, psychosocial rehabilitation with system assessment and management. I have experience working with teams developing strategies and motivating others, personal and group counseling to individuals to develop skills to manage substance abuse and gambling and related problems, community participation, and social service.

I have a strong desire to make a positive difference in people's lives and providing family therapy to help everyone in the family understand and support each other and it helps when families are feeling overwhelmed; when they are unsure how to move forward. If a family is dealing with trauma/MVA, substance abuse, unemployment, divorce, death, and grieving, family therapy can be helpful. I believe that given an opportunity, I will contribute to this organization.

I am having professional liability insurance with a valid B license and a vehicle with valid insurance. I am available on weekend’s on-call rotatory shifts

If you require any more information, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Munish Malik
